GTO's nose to be toned down...
Maybe Pontiac has been listening to all the people complaining about the GP like front end and are doing something about it ...

The "sleeker" show cars have special paint schemes. One is believed to be a ruby red similar to that used on previous Pontiac concepts, while both cars have the Federal 260kW 5.7-litre V8 engine.

I'm inferring "sleeker" to mean closer to the original, Monaro-shaped front end.

Yeah, but by toning it down more? The critics have been saying it's too ho-hum already.

I'm game for that. I don't like oversize bumpers anyway, they only increase car length without any benefits. Even visually it creates these massive overhangs (think f-body).

isnt the F-body 345hp ?? IMHO the GTO needs more if its to equal or better the f-body,
remember the f-body has solid axle which gives a better launch, and is a bit lighter.
that being said, the new VY series holdens have concentrated on weight savings that have skimmed about 45-60kg from the commodore, new lightweight dash materials as well as other things, which the V2 monaro and gto will share.
